Soccer Day!

Phaup United Girls
 Saturday was amazing! I woke up in the morning at 5:45am. It was so early. I tried to go back to sleep but I twisted and turned. No wonder I couldn't sleep! It was Saturday - our Soccer Tournament Day! We played against Mrs Wilson's class, Miss Staegemann's class and Mrs Lang's class. We made it to the finals but unfortunately lost in a penalty shoot out. During our games we cheered for our teams with pom-poms we made in class. - Fatema
Classic V
 I was captain for the boys team. We drew all our games and I scored one goal against Mrs Lang's class. We came out third but that's not important. The main thing is that we had a lot of fun! It was one of the best Saturdays ever. I really enjoyed myself - Tauha
 It was a good day! I woke up in the morning and bathed and then I ran around the house so I could get strong so we could win. Haaris' dad made us T-shirts to wear on the day and we looked really good.  - Simphiwe
I really loved our team shirts. It was great when Fatema's mother came and she was wearing the same shirts as we were.  - Tiyara
 We played so well on Saturday! When we played against Miss Staegemann's class we won 2-0 and I scored both goals. Miss Phaup was so proud and I was proud of myself because everybody cheered for me! - Luyanda
 At 9am the first match started. The boys played first and the girls did their war cry. It was really fun because we made pom-poms the day before and they looked great. Then the girls went on and I was so nervous. We won the match! Go Phaup Girls United! - Priyanka

Special thanks to Nafeesa Kadwa for sponsoring our stylish pink shirts for the girls and to Mr Manning for creating and making the boys' amazing blue shirts!
